Why doesn’t the Department of Defense simply transfer the sites to the Oregon National Guard?
The Oregon National Guard applied with DoD for consideration to occupy the sites prior to the start of the local reuse planning process. However, their application was denied based on a ruling by DoD. The Oregon National Guard is one reuse option being considered in the local reuse planning process; however, DoD has indicated that the Oregon National Guard would not be eligible as a public benefit conveyance option or for a discount on purchase price of the sites.
